Happy Lunar New Year!

We at Hawthorn Health are delighted and honored to be a part of your lives and healing journey.
As we say goodbye to the year of the Wood Snake, we are grateful to see what we have shed, releasing what no longer serves our highest good. We turn our faces forward to the year of the Fire Horse, welcoming the exciting energies of new paths emerging, creativity, decisiveness and bold action. In this year of intensity, passion and dramatic change, it is important to pace ourselves. Scheduling down time, engaging in regular restorative practices and having a self-care routine could make all the difference between attaining our goals or burning out before reaching the finish line! Being intentional with our energies, choosing a clear direction and making sure to balance our enthusiasm with mindfulness will lead us into a year of clarity, courage and quiet confidence.

May this be a year where Greatness is not postponed May this be a year that carries you faster and more directly towards your goals and dreams
May this be a year of vitality and forward motion that drives cultural and personal growth, renewal and healing.

Balancing the intensity of fire with hydration, spending time with natural water sources and maintaining optimal health with Acupuncture, Massage and Body work will nourish and support your body, mind and spirit in this exciting year.

We look forward to seeing you at your next visit!

All the best,

Stefen, Tara and Peter

"Wherever you are, at any moment, try and find something beautiful. A face, a line out of a poem, the clouds out of a window... Beauty cleans the mind."

Happy September, The beginning of ‘meteorological fall’! Looking forward to campfires, open windows with cooler air and all the things that autumn brings. Did you know there’s a particular acupuncture treatment that can help us adapt to the ‘change of season’? Abrupt changes in weather and indoor/outdoor activity can be a challenge to our immune systems, muscular systems and even our moods! In Chinese medicine, autumn is a time associated with lung and large intestine. We may find we are exposed to illnesses involving these organs, acupuncture can give you just the most you need to help fight them off! Autumn is also associated with grief and being on a ‘stuck’ mindset. Acupuncture can also help us process and release the difficult emotions that can come up at these times.
Call us at Hawthorn Health, 573-445-2010 or find us on schedulicity. We are here to lighten your path and brighten your day! 🤗

TIm Cartmell (http://www.shenwu.com/background.htm) will be teaching a 3-day Xing Yi Quan workshop from Friday, August 16th through Sunday, August 18th at the Jade Green Farm in Harrisburg, Missouri (near Columbia). The curriculum for this workshop will be the Shan Xi style Xing Yi Quan of Li Gui Chang (1914-2000). Having lived in Taiwan for over a decade and having traveled extensively in mainland China, Tim is an expert in a variety of styles of Xing Yi Quan. Tim studied with Li Gui Chang, and a few of Li’s students, in the mid-1990s during multiple trips to mainland China. Over the course of the weekend Tim will go through the 5 elements and 12 animals of that style. The group will work with both forms and applications with a detailed focus on body alignments and mechanics of the form movements and the tactics and strategies of various combat applications of the movements.
The workshop will be broken down into five three-hour sessions. The first session starts Friday evening and 7:00 pm. There will be three sessions on Saturday (morning, afternoon and evening). The last session will be conducted on Sunday morning from 9:00 am to Noon. Food and lodging are available.
The cost of the entire workshop will be $330. This will include all instruction, plus lodging, plus meals. If lodging is not needed, the cost is $300 for instruction and meals.
For more information, or to register for the workshop, contact Dan Miller editor@bluegrassunlimited.com or 573-823-5582

Hey everyone! We're changing providers and apparently our phone is down, until Monday. Though--I think we can still get messages. Huh.

So call us! We love hearing from you--but email would be the choice until Monday.

An update on why the Facebook "Book Now" button doesn't work from our page:

Meta now requires going through their scheduling, and asks some questions regarding names and reasons for seeking treatment. This violates HIPAA, which is designed to protect client confidentiality while facilitating communication with those *the client* wants to be informed.

But....enough of that....you can book via our website! Come one, come all!

We use Schedulicity for our online booking so you can schedule yourself at your own convenience!
